Carnivore, Vegetarian, Vegan, Chippendales?

Wow! I can't believe I have 6 followers here :-) I'm not sure what they are following, because I hardly ever post any updates, but I thank each and every one of you and I will try to post a little more regular from now on.

First the disclaimer. I am NOT a dietician/dietitian Whatever... a nutritionist, a nurse, a doctor, or a heath care provider of any sort.
I am a person with my own personal points of view and a mom of a childhood cancer survivor.

I have been seeing different blogs, posts, and comments all over the internet this past week about different eating lifestyles and I thought let's talk turkey (No pun intended...Well maybe a little one) since Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

Oh and thinking of turkeys, Chippendales tweeted my name on twitter the other day, now you are going to ask, What does that have to do with Turkeys? That's what I was thinking. No actually I was thinking Why were they tweeting me, I don't even follow them on twitter, so I tweeted them and then they tweeted me back and here's what they said Chippendales The Chippendales

We are our own worst enemies!

Recently in the news Postal workers nationwide are being told they might be laid off. Many Postal Facilities will be closing and mail delivery will no longer be done on Saturdays. I've heard that there could be up to 35,000 layoffs. (Don't quote me though) That's means thousands more in the unemployment lines across the US.
 Hello! This is our fault! What with internet and Facebook and emails we no longer sit down and write a letter or send a card. We pay 90% of our bills online. We do our banking online.

We expect higher wages and yet we want to shop at Walmart and the 99 cent stores. We don't want to pay higher prices and we purchase items that are made in China! Many manufacturers are moving to other countries so they don't have to pay higher wages and taxes.

Somewhere, somehow we need to take a stand!

First step is to read the labels and find out where your merchandise is made. If it isn't made in America don't buy it. I know this is hard to do, but at least try and Second....Send a card to a friend a family member just to say Hi.

Topic today..Love your body

Happy Hump day! It is right? Being at home all the time and following Australia time along with my own, I lose my days!

I was watching Dr. Oz a couple of weeks ago and he was doing a program on butt drop.
Okay I know, terrible subject right? But he was saying to use these underwear with butt pads
to give you more curves and a nicer derriere. My take on this is we pad out butts and our bras,
yes it does help to give your body more definition, but if you are trying to attract a guy,
when you take off your clothes for the first time in front of him, isn't he going to wonder,
"What happened to your body?"
Learn to love your body with all it's flaws first, then if you aren't happy with it's shape and size
do something about it! And by that I mean, if you need to lose weight don't go on one
of those fad diets, just start eating healthier and cut back on portion size.
You don't have to starve yourself or deprive yourself. Fad diets don't work in the long run and
they are not healthy. You didn't get this way overnight, so you can't change it overnight!
As they say,  "Rome wasn't built in a day!"

A little exercise every day goes a long way. Did you know that by building muscle, you speed up your metabolism, which in turn burns more fat? And the added benefits are more energy and better health.
So get moving. You don't have to be a body builder, but using weights can give you more definition, a toned body and burn more fat. A word of caution though...Your body's bone structure is you, If you are short you're going to stay short, if you are tall, yes you'll stay tall, And if you have big feet and a pear shape like I have, well.... So stand up straight and be proud of yourself. You are AWESOME!

Have a beautiful and healthy day!

My Dad!

My Dad is a very intelligent man. Okay enough of that he'll get a fat head! LOL! But a big dingbat at times. A few weeks ago he was taking my stepmom to get her blood drawn for some tests and he drove around for 2 hours and couldn't find the place. So what does he do, drives all the way back home, calls me and tells me to look up the directions on line and email them to him. Okay I can do that. And in the next breath he says, "How do I get my email up? I haven't had any email in 3 days!" So Why am I going to send him an email??? Too funny.

Last week they got a new phone and I went out and programmed it for them on Sunday, (they love getting new electronic gadgets, because it keeps me busy) Monday he calls me and says, I don't think this new phone rings, call me back. Okay done... Yes it does ring, yes it does work. Tuesday morning Dad calls again, "I don't think this new phone is working and Jinny's phone by her chair just has a humming noise. Well the phone by Jinny's chair won't work because you unplugged the main phone from the phone jack that sends the signal to Jinny's cordless phone, and dad says "I can't hear you, talk to Jinny!" Gotta love my dad! He's just too funny! Well moral to the story...Ah heck I don't have one! Enjoy your day everyone!

I'm a procrastinator!!!

Yes, it's sad to hear me say that, especially when I say it to my self! I pay all my bills online, except the water bill. They don't do online billing! So once a month they make me get up off this chair, go get in the car and drop off my bill in their night drop box. :-(( Anyway, I have been putting it off and they came around with the orange notices today and stuck it on the fence. My little dog Duggy went and got it off the fence for me. Well to say the least, yes he did shred it.... A few minutes later he scratched on the door wanting in, so I opened the door for him and he starts walking in, then stopped went back to the bill and picked up just one piece of it and dropped it at my feet. There mom I killed it for you, and he sat there looking up at me  Just like a cat would when it brings that dreaded mouse and drops it at your feet and as you're sitting there screaming the mouse scurries off! Well just my luck the bill didn't scurrie off. Darn! But at least he brought me the most important part! Have a great day everyone!

If your wondering where I am!

I am over here on Blogger, because facebook isn't being nice this morning! Good morning everyone. I was just sitting here thinking there are only so many hours in a day to accomplish everything we want and need to do. I don't know about you, but I always seem to have a list a mile long. There's always that housework and laundry. There's shopping and yardwork. Not to mention work, fb, family, friends, and trying to squeeze in some exercise and taking care of ourselves. So today I will try and accomplish what I can and tomorrow.....well we will see what today brings! Have a beautiful day everyone. Today I will....Will you?

The Broken Chain

We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Missing all

●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬♥▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬​▬▬▬▬▬▬♥
There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down
 from Heaven...
and spend the day with them just one more time, give them one more hug,
 kiss them goodbye or hear their voice again. 
One more chance to say I Love you.

Slick goes out

Slick was a really smart dog. He could open the screen door from the inside or out and he could open the wood door from the inside. Grandma misses you.

Bruce

Today would have been my brother's 43 birthday. So my sister and I are going out to the graves. Miss you Bruce. You were the best brother a girl could ask for.

Good morning!

Accomplishments are always good! Today doesn't look good though! Just kidding. So far I have cleaned my bathrooms, made my bed, did laundry, dishes and worked on my beach body! It's not quite ready, but Hey at least I'm trying!  LOL! Now I will head out and get some yardwork done as soon as I put on my sunscreen. Make the most of your day today! The possibilities are endless and remember to use your imagination!
